It went over about as well as you would expect. The Sun’s apology was swift. Despite whatever other hand-wringing comes from it, there isn’t much more to be done. It was published and apologized for, which is about all anyone can reasonably do when something like this happens. There will be plenty of questions asked about how this happened, but fewer will be reminded of why. “How” it happened was that a moment of casual racism slipped past the filter....

The film is the true story of two kids from India, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, who won a television contest as the hardest throwers in their country, and their journey to the United States to become professional baseball players. Hamm plays J.B. Bernstein, the sports agent who came up with the whole idea, made the reality show in India happen, and then housed Singh and Patel as they worked with pitching coach Tom House at USC....

Nope. Not unless you think that trees grow to the sky. Not unless you think Buffett, 65, will live to the ripe old age of 96 without losing his investment touch. And not unless you think that 31 years from now, Berkshire’s stock will be worth 10 times the value of all the goods and services currently produced in the United States. Lest you think that I’m disrespecting Buffett, he’s telling anyone who will listen that Berkshire is overpriced....

Goals from Sadio Mane, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi beat Everton 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday, cementing the Reds’ position in the Premier League top four. Coutinho the master in Merseyside derby A first Anfield derby since the stadium’s renovation had a raucous soundtrack, but Klopp responded to a late chanting of his name by pointing to his watch. Asked about a crackling derby atmosphere, Klopp instead opted to point out his concerns about complacency....

“It is a sad reality that in this country, a known and proven predator can openly brag about assaulting women and become president and be awarded money for his bad behavior,” Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said in a statement posted to Twitter on March 22. A federal appeals court rejected Daniels’ bid to overturn a lower court’s decision but she remained defiant and insisted yesterday that she “will go to jail before I pay a penny....

A post on Reddit that recently drew a surprising amount of attention caught the mysterious invisible Lifeline in action. “Lifeline got a secret cloaking buff?” is the title of the post, with a short video attached. In the video, a player walks into a room to see a quasi-invisible Lifeline crouched in front of a doorway. Since the opponent was only sort-of-invisible, the player started shooting at them. Unfortunately, they ended up outnumbered and lost the engagement, leaving them befuddled as to what had happened....

RELATED: Disney Characters Who Need More Love Animation and creativity were seemingly at the top of the pile when constructing Strange World. The plot may have taken a back seat to the design choices meaning that a lot of storylines were left on the table. Will these questions get answered in a sequel movie or TV series on Disney+? There will be spoilers in this discussion roundup of the wildest examples....

Disney’s Strange World was first announced in December of 2021. A short teaser trailer was released in June, followed by the cast list in July. The film will be an action comedy, perhaps more in line with their previous films Zootopia and Raya and the Last Dragon than with their iconic musical films, like Frozen and Encanto. Given the lackluster performance of their two previous films, released during the attendance slump of the pandemic, Disney is likely hoping for a return to their box office smashing successes of days past....

Root’s side concluded a thrilling Ashes battle against Australia with a series-levelling win at The Oval last week, although a 2-2 draw in the five-match rubber was not enough to regain the famous urn. Strauss presided over back-to-back Ashes triumphs in 2009 and 2010-11 and feels Root, who was beaten 4-0 in Australia in 2017-18, will be stronger for the experience. However, the 42-year-old former opener warned the Yorkshireman must balance the burden of captaincy against his output with the bat....

Within the past few months, controversial gambling streams on Twitch have been a hot topic among many users of the platform. From streamers like ItsSliker facing accusations of defrauding people to Adin Ross being paid reportedly around $900,000 in a partnership with the gambling site Stake, many Twitch users believe that the gambling streams on the site have gotten out of hand. For years, gambling streams have gone relatively unchecked on the platform, eventually leading the streaming genre to reach a climax that caused Twitch to update its community guidelines....

A while back, a Twitch streamer by the name of Rudeism became famous for first beating a Dark Souls 3 boss with a dance pad, then later, wiring a dozen bananas to a computer to play as Winston in Overwatch. Since then, the streamer has formed a brand of being able to turn anything into a controller, oftentimes working with a theme. More recently, the Fall Guys Twitter dared Rudeism to use only jelly beans as a controller while the game was still in beta....

Street Fighter live action movies have a reputation. For being horrible. The first, released in 1994, was directed by Steven E. de Souza. The film grossed almost triple its budget (probably because of Jean-Claude Van Damme being a part of the cast), however, it was not well-received by audiences. GameTrailers rated the movie as the eighth worst video game movie adaption of all time. Then in 2009, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li was released....

With the game’s release only six months away, it makes sense that Capcom has begun to release more news about the roster composition at a much faster clip. While Capcom has primarily focused on new characters or series stalwarts, that’s changing with their most recent fighter showcase, as Capcom is dialing up a blast from the past whose time away from Street Fighter spans almost two decades. Capcom confirmed at the Tokyo Game Show 2015 that Karin Kanzuki has joined the roster of playable characters in Street Fighter 5, alongside other more recognizable Street Fighter veterans like Vega....

In a short message to the community from Street Fighter 5’s producer, Shuhei Matsumoto, he tells fans that Capcom is working hard to deliver the next season of content. Dan was originally announced as a winter 2020 release, but will now be delivered in February 2021 - which is technically still winter, but doesn’t quite fit into 2020. Still, the two-month delay is likely to be better than many Street Fighter 5 fans expected given the recent lack of communication....

[HTML1] The video focuses on M.Bison as he walks through a set of doors, donning his trademark red hat and grinning menacingly at the challengers that await him. Meanwhile the other members of the Street Fighter 5 cast sense and prepare for the notorious villain’s arrival. During the ensuing fight, set to an impressive soundtrack, various characters show off some of their abilities such as Nash’s teleportation allowing him to go head-to-head with Bison’s fierce Psycho powers....

The announcement that fans will have been most excited for is the reveal of the Street Fighter 5 release date. Previously confirmed for ’early 2016’ some fans feared that the issues surrounding the game’s beta testing may have led to a delay. Thankfully, that’s not the case as Ono said that Street Fighter 5 will be released on PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe on February 16, 2016. Although PC wasn’t mentioned at the event, it seems likely that the PC version will hit on the same day so players can take advantage of the PS4/PC cross-play features in the game....
